Speedy deletion nomination of Gary Motykie


A tag has been placed on Gary Motykie requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion," which appears inside of the speedy deletion tag (if no such tag exists, the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate). Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Evaders99 (talk) 07:03, 17 June 2011 (UTC)

What happened to the article you started
I moved the article to User:Paullonsford/Gary Motykie rather than delete it. It is not acceptable to have biographies without a single reference. (While you have some links, they are not properly formed). The person may meet Notability guidelines, but I hadn't yet seen sufficient evidence, so you will want to work on that, but you must have some reliable references in proper format. See Referencing for beginners. If you can show evidence of notability, I can help you format the publications list appropriately.

Please feel free to work on it in user space, and either move it when it is ready, or if you cannot move it, contact me and I will, if it is ready.-- SPhilbrick  T  16:56, 17 June 2011 (UTC)

Not sure I understand how this is not verifiable....I have a doctor who has been on numerous TV shows, hangs out with celebrities & is famous in his own right for his work & you say that does not meet the requirements. I have referenced these shows & ironically he has been on more shows than some of the doctors referenced on the wiki Dr. 90210 article. Help me understand what I am missing here...Thank you in advance for your support.Paullonsford (talk) 21:11, 17 June 2011 (UTC)paullonsford

Hello, Paullonsford. We welcome your contributions to Wikipedia, but if you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article Gary Motykie, you may need to consider our guidance on conflicts of interest.

All editors are required to comply with Wikipedia's neutral point of view content policy. People who are very close to a subject often have a distorted view of it, which may cause them to inadvertently edit in ways that make the article either too flattering or too disparaging. People with a close connection to a subject are not absolutely prohibited from editing about that subject, but they need to be especially careful about ensuring their edits are verified by reliable sources and writing with as little bias as possible.

If you are very close to a subject, here are some ways you can reduce the risk of problems:


 * Avoid or exercise great caution when editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with.
 * Be cautious about deletion discussions. Everyone is welcome to provide information about independent sources in deletion discussions, but avoid advocating for deletion of articles about your competitors.
 * Avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Spam).
 * Exercise great caution so that you do not accidentally breach Wikipedia's content policies.

Please familiarize yourself with relevant content policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. Thank you. You have a clear COI here - this was obviously a publicity attempt. Dougweller (talk) 11:57, 25 November 2012 (UTC)

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
